Monroe College is an amazing place to be if you want to learn, the majority of the people that attend there are very diverse and you can learn so much from communicating with them. Plus the semester track helps to get you where you want to be and stay focused.

I can only speak for the Bronx location, but everybody there is focused on their studies. The classroom sizes are smaller, you're a name here. Not a number. This school also wants to help you succeed. You get out what you put into it.

I came in as a transfer student and I was welcomed with open arms. I walked into Monroe with a very low GPA and they did everything possible to get me in. I love the staff, the students here are respectful and easy to get along with. This School is very diverse and the professors I had were also amazing and taught very well content.

Worst school ever, wouldn't reccomend it to anyone! It finishes off your tap so its a must to take out loans!!

The nursing department is constantly changing faculty because they don't have willing to stay. Since Ngozi Nkongho stepped down, the nursing department is a dumpster fire. Douglas-Stanley was a great interim dean, but the current Dean Qaabidh is a nightmare. Clinical sites are sparse. Only the worst professors stay. It's awful.

Bad neighborhood, many students come from bad backgrounds, Monroe college pretty much accepts anyone who is willing to pay which is unfair to the students with higher standards
Overall 1.8
The nursing department is a disaster. Constant staff turnaround, almost no clinical site experience given, you will end up teaching yourself. The new Dean gives the run around more often than not and you will find yourself asking more questions even after receiving answers. Do not recommend this school to ANYONE.
